Can't score, can't defend...

[[new username under construction]]

I'm doing my best to stay positive but fuck me this lot aren't making it easy!!!

[The G in Gerrard]

Coutino, Gerrard, Henderson, lovren, lallana good god you're shit. This club is a mess. We need a new manager, the defensive performance is embarrassing. Rodgers is not up to it

Embarrassing post

[RedMan89]

Too nice
Too soft
Too average

Buy a proper striker and give sterling a break.

[Ski]

Owned comfortably by almost the worst utd side I can remember. What a difference a confident striker for us would have made in that game.

[walshys_mullet]

That's one of the worst united teams EVER.

[rushyman]

And Lovren...

Just bite the bullet Brendan. Please.

[theMilkman]

Have to say, this post-game interview is going to be one of interest. One of the more important interviews if you ask me. Deflated team, deflated fanbase, let's see what his summation excuse is.

yes. can't wait for this one.

[1892tillforever]

Just totally deflated and depressed right now. Still in shock that we've fallen so far so fast but this summer's transfer window was an exercise in incompetence and we're seeing the fruits of the idiocy on the pitch.

There is no fucking way that shower of shit should be winning 3-0 but when you can't score no matter what, there is little chance of gaining a good result. I know we're supposed to support the players etc. but why did we buy Lovren? He just isn't good enough, he just isn't. A baffling signing 

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

Absolute embarrassment, horrendous finishing from Sterling.

4 shots on target, not one of them really troubled the goalkeeper.

[Suareznumber7]

Where was Sahko???

[Hyderabad Red]

This is getting as bad as the Roy Hodgson era.

[planet-terror]

we dont need any strikers
we dont need them any more
we dont need any strikers,like we did before

[robertobaggio37]

Pathetic by Brendan

It's not his fault Sterling can't finish.

[TrueNorthRED]

I wonder if Cantona wants to re-visit our discussion about de Gea?! Doubtful. It was the case of thee leagues best keeper vs an out of form striker. Not more to be said really.

[Davidbowie]

Sterling would be a major major player if only he could finish. He never ever beats the keeper in one on ones but then Sterling really shouldn't be playing as Liverpools main forward, especially in away matches at OT.

There are NO leaders in this team of ours. No physicality, no nastiness, they look like they will be bullied and usually are.

Also, note to BR - see the difference that a top goalkeeper can have, wins matches rather than costs them.

[Stringer123]

Just awful.
Still don't want Rodgers out though. The transfer committee on the other hand...

[Didi_ram]

Nothing to say. We played well in attack.
Look at their team. They finish. They save goals. That's what we need. A striker and a keeper.
Rodgers doesnt get much time now.

[kennedy81]

Created half a dozen good chances today.

People can moan about Rodgers all they like but he can't put the ball in the net for them.

[Flyingwise]

I've lost total faith in Brendan and so have the players.  Only fix will be a new manager... Hate to say it but Brendan has to go

[Snail]

Think the title is gone now, but need to win every game now for second. How did Allen stay on the pitch? On another day that could have finished 3-2 to United.

Er...

[IgoDirk]

Think the title is gone now, but need to win every game now for second. How did Allen stay on the pitch? On another day that could have finished 3-2 to United.

  Negative.

[thisyearisouryear]

This is so depressing. SO SO DEPRESSING.

[payback]

runs like a girl, kicks like a girl

go back to redcafe.

[ShayGuevara]

Absolute embarrassment, horrendous finishing from Sterling.

Credit to him for getting into the positions though, no? No one else has been managing it of late and on another day he could of had a few.

We were better today, not sure about the formation reckon it cost us first half definitely but going forward we looked pretty dangerous.

3-0 flattering for United, not sure we deserved anything either though.

[lindylou100]

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

[MichaelA]

Odd you mention Gerrard when I'm baffled how Allen played 90 minutes

He didn't play for ninety minutes, although he did appear to be on the pitch for the vast majority of the game

[kennedy81]

This is getting as bad as the Roy Hodgson era.

nonsense.

[Guz-kop]

Hope we stick to roughly the same system going forward. Get Sterling on the ball as much as possible. Try and get Mario to support as much as possible. Rotate Coutinho and Lallana.

I'd probably play Lucas for Allen next week

[Bincey]

You're never gonna win games if you don't take one of your glorious opportunities.

[deano2727]

0-3. De Gea won them the game. Our performance was not as bad as the scoreline suggests. We created lots of really good chances. But the game is about scoring goals and we couldn't do that. Disappointing. Not sure what else to say.

Nonsense. Our poor finishing cost us the game. Each of Sterlings chances was more a case of poor finishing, than good goalkeeping. Top keeper, mind.

[Nick110581]

Why drop Lucas and Toure and return Gerrard into the deep lying position. Does he want to get himself sacked?

Exactly.

[Upinsmoke]

Before the usual pricks kick off, lets look briefly at the game...

They broke away from a good save and scored.
Theyre second was a offside goal. No if or buts or red tinted glasses.
The 3rd comes when we are commiting too far forward, which we have to do as we are losing. Granted it was a very poor attempt at a clearance from Lovren too
Theyre keeper has pulled of, what, 5 TOP TOP saves. Not ones where he is diving full tilt across his goal line, but ones where he has stood tall, put an arm out or got down low well and fast etc, but 5 great saves. Said keeper gets the MOTM award.

Also, from another poster who cant be arsed sifting through the usual shite in here...

So near yet a million miles away. Take our chances and it is a different game. One real shocker from the lino killed the game as we had to chase more then and we were leaving ourselves vulnerable to the counter as their third goal showed. That Liverpool team had every chance to do something in this game. Our confidence is low and we are desperate for some goals to bring back that confidence. Rodgers needs our backing more than ever.

90 percent of the shots were straight at him. only the balotelli one was a top save. the others are just literally hit at him, like when we played reading away and the keeper was AMAZING!!!!!!


No, we we're shit in front of goal then and the same today, except that was one game and this has been what, 15?

[SimplyRed91]

Fuck sake. When will it end? Defence is a shambles. Midfield isn't strong enough and lose their personal battles. Can't fucking finish. The only positive from today is we got on some god attacking positions.

Something's gotta fucking happen. Not quite sure what, though.

[Red James]

Can't say it was unexpected. Man Utd are in good form and rising, and they notably have actual quality strikers who can finish.

Meanwhile we are in horrendous form with no signs of improving and have absolutely 0 strikers capable of finishing, nor even a solid defence.

Can't score, can't defend. So it wasn't much of a surprise we'd be torn to shreds.

[RideTheWalrus]

Worst performance has to be Joe Allen. By God he was beyond shite. On another level of being shite today.

[Wool]

Not much to say really. We're an absolute joke.

[smicer07]

This is getting as bad as the Roy Hodgson era.

Nah, it's really not.

[Redman0151]

Embarrassing fucking shite.

Skrtel Lovren gerrard allen coutinho were fucking awful. Gerrard hardly touched it for 90 minutes.


Markovic looked bright and balotelli was better than he's been. Something has to give soon

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

This is getting as bad as the Roy Hodgson era.

Results wise, perhaps, but the football is totally different. And better.
